Pulte Homes Reviews in Phoenix Mesa, AZ

Too many stuff need rework and take more than two months to finish

Looked good at first, but it is obvious a lot of shortcuts were taken in the building process.

Completed review before turn over the house keys

I need things repaired. My shower door is literally, falling off and is cracked. It’s been two months and no one has even scheduled. There are other issues too but this is an emergency and the builder doesn’t seem to care.

All of the Pulte folks tried their best. And actually the sub contractors were friendly and responsive, and fun to talk to. The trouble is when they finished their respective job there was little or no responsibility placed on them to leave the job completed in a workmanship like manner which includes leaving the job site clean and hazard free. I thought that there was little or no accountability placed on the sub contractors unless I complained. Then, perhaps, my concerns would be heard. I would be afraid to not do my own supervision.

Poor workmanship, finishes were poor and currently having flooring issues and filed ROC Complaint. Our construction manager was great but the overall experience was poor with the quality of the build and the accountability by Pulte as the contractor

I am very upset at what happened at closing. Up to this point had a great experience with everyone that we had encountered. WE did the walkthrough and labeled A LOT of things with blue tape. Supervisor asked us not to take the survey until he had a chance to fix the things that were tagged. Went to sign paperwork and came back to check on the status of the repairs. Nothing had been worked on but all of the tape was off. Called our realtor and she called the supervisor who told her that he was in the house while repairs were made, and it clearly was not. He also told her that the rest would be done the next day. We got our keys and had a painter lined up so we can paint the colors we wanted and start moving in. Painter refused to work because the quality of what was left was horrible. I was extremely upset so I called the emergency number and spoke to a very nice lady that emailed the supervisor and his boss also about all of the issues. I also sent her many pictures to show her what I was dealing with. Miraculously all of a sudden contractors were brought to the house to complete work that should have been done in the 5 days between the first walkthrough and the signing of the documents. The supervisor reached out to me again and asked me not to take the survey until all repairs were made the correct way. His only concern was the survey, and I was left wondering if that is his concern why didn't the items get taken care of the first time around? ... More

First of all, thank you so much for Salesperson Josh, he is really helpful and make you understand end to end process. Because of him I want to give 5 stars but after I move in couple of issues noticed. Especially electricity, it continuously trips power, and I was stayed 10 days without electricity in Master bedroom. Still issue exist but no one cares after reported issue.

Poor Workmanship. House was dusty and dirty when we got it. I thought it would be nice and clean and shiny like the models. Nobody wants to take accountability for the workmanship.

We had a great experience with construction manager till the point of closing of our new home. There were few issues which were supposed to be fixed within the month after closing. But later the construction manager backed away and told us to go via Customer Service. Incompetence is an understatement for their customer service department. They aren't communicative and sounds like they want to finish our call in a rush. We get work orders but nobody shows up on the designated day and subsequently our work order get pushed out.

I understand there are delays due to lack of supplies but that doesn’t excuses the lack of quality in work or providing great customer service. I have worked with multiple builders from Dr. Horton to Toll Brothers and Pulte is the 2nd to last builder on my list when it comes to customer service. The weekly updates on the build was very nice, but other then that, it seems like I was a bother. My concerns are not heard, and the superintendent and care team are too busy to help.

We have cosmetic flaws, some more unsatisfactory small pea size pit and chipped wood exposed on exterior surfaces the of the cabinets; to minor blemishes, cracks in paint at joints or filled in cracks to conceal, but visible; to a huge crack in the bottom shelf of the wall cabinet likely caused by installation of the under cabinet lights. These have been reported on their Customer Service website, but have yet to be resolved. The cosmetic blemishes can be overlooked, but the cracked cabinet makes the whole gourmet kitchen upgrade unsatisfied and we feel we overpaid. Its been 6 weeks since we moved in and these concerns have continued to be neglected. ... More

It is VERY obvious that Pulte did not appropriately oversee the workers who built my home. So many massive issues in all of the finish trades. I wanted to move into my home with peace of mind and now I’m stuck in an endless cycle of fighting with tradesmen over their terrible craftsmanship. Absolutely horrible. I used the think Pulte stood for build quality. I no longer have this association with their name.

You will get an incomplete home at closing. I suggest hire a home inspector to inspect your home. We had alot of issues, and expect not to get the issues fixed right away. I know we are living in a crazy market but don't advertise high quality when the house is far from it.

I think there was a rush in completing the home, compromising with quality.

Our salesman Eric was great. They can never give us an accurate estimate of when the home would be completed talk to three different people I got three different estimates of completion then after longer than expected they call us and tell us it would be completed in 30 days, not giving us much time to prepare to move. After moving in our dishwasher did not work it took them almost a month to get out here to fix it and they are very slow to respond to any other issue we have been here almost 2 months and still have many unresolved issues. When I do talk to somebody they tell me they’ll take care of it right away then I never hear from them again until I call them again and they keep telling me they’ll take care of it and they still have not after almost 2 months. ...

I feel this House was rushed to be built and closed on for financial gains. Numerous craftmanship and material issues, most that were addressed at walk through, have not been resolved. It is now two months past closing and we're still waiting for simple things to be repaired and or replaced. This was my first time purchasing a new home, and it has been far from a pleasant experience for me or my family.

Garnit broken and they lied its part of granite

sales office was great in dealing with them. The problem is with the closing crew and not following up on customer request or even returning phone calls, text messages, etc. If pulte values their customers they should hire more people to handle the job requirements or hire personnel that do not ignore your phone calls.

EVERYTIME THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH CONSTRUCTION, PULTE MAKES EXCUSES AND TRIES TO GET OUT OF FIXING THE PROBLEM, BY SAYING ITS NORMAL AND THINKS HOMEOWNER SHOULD EXCEPT THE DEFFECT.

Do not go through Pulte Mortgage, it’s been a nightmare from the start. Also, the home was completed and closed yet the kitchen cabinet door was not installed and a month in has not arrived, There are scratches all over the cabinets and poor quality installation.

Been in new home for one month now. They forced us to close by Oct 1 to hit their quota after we waited over a year for it to be finished. Now waiting weeks for someone to feed pond to all my issues that were not complete. My punch list. Everyone dark except these surveys

When you bring up issues right after closing such as cracked tile, door has hole in it, which takes over 2 weeks to be painted so far and not installed, a month out at this point to get stucco hole fixed, if they show up! Just horrible on issues and they just do not care after you are handed the keys. No communication with you, if there is no one is on the same page.

The finish work was rushed and not good at all. There were so many corners cut that the house looks terrible. We marked all of the issues in the walk through, but roughly only 25% of the issues marked got fixed. The cleaning was also the worst cleaning I have seen. We spent roughly 20 hours cleaning up after we moved in. They said that the cleaning company can not use chemicals which I understand but there were so many areas that were not even touched. The overall house seems to be structurally sound but with the cheap finishes and terrible finish work, the house is severely overpriced even in the market we are in currently. Anna had been a big help to try and correct some of the issues. ... More

Move in date was Friday, December 17th. Robert tried to change it to the following Tuesday due to needing a little more time to get things done. We told we couldn’t because we had things being delivered and already took time off from work. We told him we would not move in until 4pm that Friday. When we showed up the painters were still there and the house was really dirty. He told us the cleaners would be here in the next hour. We knew there would be some outstanding items. Not a problem. He told us the painters would be back Monday to finish. They never showed up. He would consistently over commit and never deliver. Told us the painters were coming two other times and never showed. No call or follow up from him. He told us multiple times he was going to send us the outstanding items and when they would be completed, never did. On January 26th I texted him that we would be taking the Pulte survey by 2/5 and he texted me back saying he would have no problem completing the items by then. So many times we texted him and called him and no response. We were very patient, but can no longer wait without anything being completed, since we are now going on almost two months of waiting. So unprofessional! Expected better quality work. I tried calling the customer service number and it just beeps. ... More
